Who Said A Mosquito Can't Cultivate?

Chapter 25 - The Duality of Beings

With that thought in mind, I was determined to create a new elemental physique just so I could use up more blood points. To be honest, I wouldn't have thought of doing this if it wasn't for the fact that I still had a lot of deer to suck, which meant that I still had a lot of blood points.

But then again...if I were to think about it further, I would surely choose another element to be inclined towards as it would be beneficial to me when it comes to fighting. It could either be in terms of variety of skills, or the fact that I could surprise my enemies with skills from the other element.

I guess I could consider this a headstart to this possible plan?

"Create a new elemental physique," I commanded inside my mind, alerting the system of what I wanted to do.

Ding!

And not long after the command, the system gave its reply in a small yet inconspciuous holographic screen that appeared in front of my field of vision.

'You do not have enough points of Impure Blood Energy to do this action.'

Ah, right. I used up all of my blood points on my Second Blood Storage skill. I still don't regret maxing it out. And also, when I think ahead, I might just max out the main storage and blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency skill one more time. Since a requirement for the main storage to evolve is to have the Second Blood Storage maxed out, this saves me some time...or not.

I then went ahead and deprived 12 deer of their unflowing blood as I filled my newly upgraded storage. Ahh, the bliss of s.u.c.k.i.n.g blood from multiple beings before having the storage max out. It's definitely worth it.

Ding!

I asked the system one more time that I wanted to create a new elemental physique, which consumed 1000 points of blood from my storage, leaving me with around 3000 points or so left from it.

Well...that's how much my storage had expanded thanks to maxing out the Second Blood Storage. From a measly 1200 or so points, I could now store over 4000 points of blood at a given time!

Whoosh!

Anyways, a holographic screen appeared in front of my field of vision, giving me six elements to choose from. Well, to be honest, the only difference to my current choice is that Space can't be chosen.

________

Please choose an element to specialize in:

Basic Elements:

Fire

Water

Air

Metal

Wood

--------

Special Elements:

Blood

________

Well...with that kind of line-up, ain't my choice obvious on what I'm going to pick?

Of course, I'm gonna choose fire because it allows me to have flashy attacks in the future!

Ah...how I wish I could do that, but that would be incredibly incompatible with my current body and bloodline. Well...it doesn't say that I can't do it, but I'm definitely sure that it would be multiple times harder than specializing in an element suited for my body.

Ding!

'By choosing the Blood element, you shall create a new physique at the lowest level possible. Are you sure you want to create the Useless level Blood physique?'

Well...it's not like I have a choice as to what the name is. And also, the system has already warned me that if I created a second elemental physique, it would obviously start from the bottom so...

"Yes, I'm sure," I said yes to the question, a flash of red energy enveloping my body for a short moment before dissipating as a notification popped up.

Ding!

'Useless level Blood physique has been created.'

'Current bonus: 1% bonus efficiency to Blood-type abilities, 1% bonus to qi gathering proficiency.'

Well...the effects are unsurprising, since it's a Useless level physique anyway. But now, the next question comes to mind.

Did the creation of a new elemental physique create more parts for me to upgrade and increase my effective constitution multiplier?

If so, then that would definitely make my strength equal enough to fight against normal humans.

Ding!

And so, I brought up the screen regarding the Body Refinement and saw...no added parts to upgrade. All six parts on the screen still needed 400 points to upgrade, with the only exception being the fact that on the Elemental Affinity bar, two elements now existed.

'Elemental Affinity: Space (Untapped level), Blood (Useless level, 10 points to upgrade)'

10 points to upgrade the Blood physique to the Wasted level? Ain't this cheaper than upgrading the parts and evolving it? Now that I think about it, the probable reason why additional parts weren't added was because my Blood physique was incredibly weak, hence it just combined all of the upgrades into the amount beside the element, evolving included.

I wonder if it would increase my effective constitution multiplier? Well...there's no other way to know other than to upgrade it!

Ding!

'10 points of Impure Blood Energy has been consumed.'

'Useless level Blood physique has been upgraded to Wasted level Blood physique.'

'Current bonus: 3% bonus efficiency to Blood-type abilities, 3% bonus to qi gathering proficiency.'

After upgrading the Blood physique, I took a look at the effective constitution multiplier and saw...no change at all. Well, it could always be more disappointing than that. At the very least, it increased my qi gathering proficiency level by a few percent.

As for Blood-type abilities though, would s.u.c.k.i.n.g blood be included in that? Would there even be a change in speed when s.u.c.k.i.n.g? I'll have to find out after I use more points of blood to upgrade my Blood physique.

Well...since I upgraded the Blood physique to the Wasted level, why not go all the way towards the Inferior level?

Ding!

'2000 points of Impure Blood Energy have been consumed.'

'Wasted level Blood physique has been upgraded to Inferior level Blood physique.'

'Current bonus: 8% bonus efficiency to Blood-type abilities, 8% bonus to qi gathering proficiency.'

After upgrading the Blood physique to the Inferior level, I somewhat regret the decision. I did not expect for the amount of points to increase by that much, to be honest. Then again, it probably took me more points to evolve the physique to the Untapped and Inferior level before picking the Space element.

Now, would I go any further and upgrade both physiques to the next level after Inferior? That would be a no. I'm definitely sure that the remaining blood I could suck would not even be enough to evolve the Space physique to the next level. Well, I could definitely use the blood to max it out, but it could probably go towards better places.

Hmm...what have I not upgraded already? Now that I think about it, I've upgraded pretty much everything. I've upgraded my main storage and blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency skill to the second tier, my Second Blood Storage and now useful Efficient Blood Transfer to the first tier, my two physiques to the Inferior level, and even maxed out my Level 0 Meridians as well. And the qi gathering technique to the max level for Grassroots grade, can't forget that.

I'm left with 52 more deer to suck blood from, so I should probably make a decision that would help me out in the long run. Hmm...wait...there's a thought gradually coming out...it looks pretty good...

Huh.

Well I guess that works.

I then proceeded to suck 12 more deer one more time, with the last one only being s.u.c.k.e.d halfway as I used all of my acc.u.mulated points of Impure Blood Energy to upgrade my main storage and blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency to the maximum level.

Ding!

'3,911 points of Impure Blood Energy has been consumed.'

'Purified Blood Storage Lv. 1 -> Lv. MAX'

'Sanguine Proboscis Matrix Lv. 1 -> Lv. MAX'

'Expanded Second Blood Storage can now be evolved.'

Yes. This was the idea I went with.

After that, I went ahead and s.u.c.k.e.d 36 more deer, depriving them of their blood. Of course, I did not forget the half-s.u.c.k.e.d deer from before, as I upgraded the now useful Efficient Blood Transfer to its maximum level. Now, why would I do this?

Of course, it's to evolve all of my skills to the next tier!

To be honest, I could evolve my blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency skill and Efficient Blood Transfer to the next tier as both of them don't need prerequisites to evolve, but my main storage and Second Blood Storage do.

Ding!

'12,400 points of Impure Blood Energy has been consumed.'

'Efficient Blood Transfer Lv. 1 -> Lv. MAX'

And now, it's time to evolve all of my...oh. After maxing out Efficient Blood Transfer, my main storage, and blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency skill, I was left with only 4 deer left to suck blood from.

Well, technically, I still had 54 more deer to suck, but I promised to the bear that I would only suck 202 deer and leave 50 deer behind.

I looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun was around a quarter of the way to being at the peak of the sky, coloring the sky a light blue. At this moment, I could not help but mutter to myself.

"At first, I thought that it would take me around two days to suck all of the blood from these deer...who knew it would only take half a day."

I then went and killed the last 4 deer, depriving them of their blood not long after as I looked at my 4 main skills, looking at the amount of points needed to evolve them to the next.

Thankfully, I had enough points to evolve both my main storage and blood s.u.c.k.i.n.g efficiency skill to the next tier, seeing that both needed around 500 points to evolve.

But was I going to evolve them here right now? Nah. I already took up a lot of time from the bear. I should at least show kindness to it after what it has done for me. In other words, I could just evolve it later. I could also go out of my way and suck more living beings to upgrade all of them to the next tier.

Anyways, with the deal between me and the bear now being done, I made my towards the big black bear who was currently staring at my body with slight fear, its eyes filled with intense incredulity at what I have done.

"How...that body size...what..." It softly muttered as I made my way towards it. To be honest, I don't know how my body has stayed this size as well after s.u.c.k.i.n.g a lot of blood. It probably has something to do with the system.

I then started to hover a decent distance away from the bear, waiting for it to cast its qi channel as the qi connecting us dissipated around the time I s.u.c.k.e.d my 100th deer or something.

Thankfully, it understand why I was just hovering there, hastily forming a qi channel. I then said not long after, "Our deal is now done. I shall now take my leave."

"Yes, yes! Thank you for coming here, esteemed being! May you bless this territory once more in the future!" Maintaining its subserviency, the big black bear replied.

"It will probably be a long time till we'll meet again, so I may not hold up that promise. For now, farewell." And with that being my last statement, I then flew away from the clearing I stayed in for half a day, which was now filled to the brim with bone dry deer corpses.

Anyways...

I probably looked cool there, didn't I?

Time to traverse the forest one more time. It's now time to aim for the third awakening!

--------

While Bell was leaving the clearing, the big black bear was left surrounded by a big pile of bone dry corpses. A cheerful and subservient aura exuded out of the bear's body with a slight hint of fear, waiting for Bell to leave its territory.

Once it left, the bear's aura underwent a drastic change, turning into an aura filled with arrogance and murderous intent.

"Well shit. I don't have enough deer as tribute to the Boss," the bear cursed as it looked at the remaining deer it had, which amounted to 50. It then circulated its qi and directed it towards the deer, being absorb by their bodies.

Not long after, the deer started to engage in the proliferation of life as the bear continued to look with a murderous stare.

"Why did I accept that puny mosquito's deal? It was just a mosquito, I could've killed it with a swat!" Since the deal between the two was finished, the bear was now acting as arrogant as it previously was. Nonetheless, when it remembered the aura the mosquito exuded, it could not help but shiver in fear.

Why? It was shivering in fear from the speed at which the mosquito improved in power.

"Haah...this isn't my problem anymore. The deed has been done, and my problem now is to have enough deer before the time for tribute starts." The bear sighed as it continued to watch the deer engaging in their mating activities.

"Hmm..." For a while, the bear pondered over what he should do next, only for a cackle to come out of the bear as he said to himself, "I should tell Boss about this mosquito."

"Once it meets Boss, I'm sure it would regret s.u.c.k.i.n.g my deer."
